Rep. Brendan Boyle: ‘This Has To Be the Latest Wake-Up Call’ as Repeated Ground Stops Expose Outdated FAA Technology

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOYLE: “Yeah. Look, I this has to be the latest wake up call. Keep in mind, just last month we had a ground stoppage for hours in Philadelphia and New York and other parts of the very busy northeast corridor. I was one of the the folks who was impacted by that. It’s pretty clear these things are happening with increasing frequency. The fact we have an FAA system that’s built on using floppy disks and the latest technology of 1989. Come on. I mean, we really do need to fix this. I certainly would be willing to vote for a major appropriation to do this overhaul. I’m glad that the crowd that was bragging about doge a year ago and making all sorts of deep cuts now actually wants to spend the resources fine.”
